[CCoE Notice] Let's Go Paperless & Get it FAST - Elect Electronic Receipt of W-2 Form

[Grayson, Audrey A]

The University strongly encourages employees to consent to receive an electronic W-2 form in place of the paper form.  Employees that elect to receive their W-2 electronically support campus-wide sustainability and cost saving initiatives along with the additional personal benefits listed below.

The University also wants to help protect your personal employment information.  By electing to receive your W-2 form electronically, it minimizes the potential for identity theft.  Electronic forms provide a secure method for accessing your personal information compared to having the form mailed to your address on file.

Additional benefits of the electronic W-2 form:

 *   Earlier access to the W-2 form than paper copies.
 *   Electronic forms cannot be lost, stolen, misplaced or even delayed by mail.
 *   Access from any Internet connection at any time via P.A.S.S.
 *   Compatible with many tax preparation software programs for electronic filing.
 *   Employees have the option to print multiple copies at their convenience.
 *   Once consent is given, it remains in force.  No annual renewal is required starting this year.

IRS regulations, which allow employers to provide the option of electronic forms instead of a paper format, require that each employee give his/her consent to receive an electronic W-2 in place of a paper version.

To take advantage of this, employees need to access P.A.S.S. and consent to receive their W-2 electronically.

The electronic W-2 form contains all required information and complies with all applicable IRS revenue procedures.  The calendar year 2015 W-2 form will be available Jan. 21, 2016, at that time employees who have selected the electronic option will have immediate access to print their W-2 form on demand through P.A.S.S.

Note: Paper forms will not be mailed out until the end of the month.

The University is requesting that all employees participate in consenting to receive W-2 forms electronically.
